Core Welfare Indicators Questionnaire [hh/cwiq]
The 2007 CWIQ Survey was carried out on a nationally representative sample of 7,800 households located in 520 E.A.s/Clusters (Table 1.1). The survey was based on a stratified two stage sampling design using existing SSL sample frame (2004 Population and Housing Census). E.A.s were selected from each Local Council (LC). It should be stated that some of these LCs are rural areas while some are urban areas. In each LC, the first stage of sampling was a selection of E.A.s. The number of EAs selected in each LC was determined proportionately using the square root of the household population of the LC and that of the locality (Urban, Rural). At the second stage of sampling, 15 households were selected for each EA for inclusion in the sample. The selection in each cluster included additional households, as substitutes, to take into account e.g. households that may have moved between the time of listing and the date of enumeration. Below is the distribution of total number of EAs, sampled EAs and total number of households in each LC.
The Sierra Leone Core Welfare Indicators Questionnaire (CWIQ) survey provides information for management of the Sierra Leone economy and society. It embodies the results of a household survey designed to produce indicators for social welfare in a cheaper and more regular way to provide instruments for continuous monitoring of the poverty alleviation programme. The CWIQ survey produces information for measuring key changes in social indicators for different population groups in particular Indicators of access, use and satisfaction with social services. The overall objective of the Sierra Leone CWIQ survey, 2007 was to provide timely information for monitoring the implementation of the Sierra Leone Poverty Reduction Strategy and to begin a process of capacity building for the design, implementation, processing and analysis of household surveys within Statistics Sierra Leone (SSL) to strengthen the Poverty Reduction Strategy Monitoring and Evaluation System. This report presents the major findings of the CWIQ survey carried out from 5 April-10 May 2007 by SSL. A sample size of 7,800 households, covering rural and urban areas, in all nineteen Local Councils of the four administrative regions of the country was selected from a total of 520 Enumeration Areas. Detailed information was collected on most aspects of poverty such as demographic characteristics, education, health, employment, household assets, household amenities, poverty predictors, children under five, maternal child health and agriculture. The major findings of the survey are summarized in the order of the relevant chapters of the report.
Sample survey data [ssd]
The survey design was based on a stratified two-stage sample design using existing SSL sampling frame (2004 Population and Housing Census). E.A.'s served as primary sampling units while households served as secondary sampling units. The survey design enabled reporting of results at Local Council, Regional and National levels.

The CWIQ Data Processing system is designed to process returned questionnaires EA-by-EA. In other words, each EA is treated as a separate batch. In view of this approach, questionnaires were received at the data processing room EA-by-EA with questionnaires for a particular EA put together in a plastic carrying case. When an EA package arrives from the field it is checked and logged in by a member of the DP team using the Questionnaire Arrival Form. Among the data entries made on the Questionnaire Arrival Form are: · Arrival date; · Number of questionnaires in the package; and · Number of households. After all questionnaires for a particular EA have been scanned and accepted, TELEform Reader will then evaluate the images and subsequently send the batch to the TELEform Verifier for possible verification of questionable responses and final transfer of the data into the CWIQ temporary database (CWIQtemp.mdb) that sits between the CWIQ main database and analysis system and the TELEform data capture software. Verified data was committed or transferred from TELEform into the CWIQtemp.mdb database EA-by-EA. No two E.A.s were transferred to the same CWIQtemp.mdb database at the same time.
Five hundred and twenty (520) Enumeration Areas (E.A.s)/clusters were selected for the CWIQ Survey. This enabled the coverage of rural and urban areas in each of the LC's except where the LC was fully urban or rural. Within each urban or rural area, a random sample of EAs was selected and within each selected EA a sample of 15 households was selected from the listed households. For each EA, a random sample of three substitute households was also selected as replacement in cases of refusal, not found, etc.

A total of 7,797 households were enumerated from a sample of 7,800 households, in 520 Enumeration Areas, giving the survey coverage rate of 98.4 percent (Table 1.2 of Appendix 1).For each enumeration area a reserve list of three household was selected for replacement due to refusals, respondents not at home, households not located, moved away among others. Only three Local Councils Kenema District, Kenema Town and Kambia District had 100% completed of the original households in the sample. The rest of the Local Council areas had some household replaced due to refusals or not found.

The CWIQ Data Processing system is designed to process returned questionnaires EA-by-EA. In other words, each EA is treated as a separate batch. In view of this approach, questionnaires were received at the data processing room EA-by-EA with questionnaires for a particular EA put together in a plastic carrying case. When an EA package arrives from the field it is checked and logged in by a member of the DP team using the Questionnaire Arrival Form. Among the data entries made on the Questionnaire Arrival Form are: · Arrival date; · Number of questionnaires in the package; and · Number of households. After all questionnaires for a particular EA have been scanned and accepted, TELEform Reader will then evaluate the images and subsequently send the batch to the TELEform Verifier for possible verification of questionable responses and final transfer of the data into the CWIQ temporary database (CWIQtemp.mdb) that sits between the CWIQ main database and analysis system and the TELEform data capture software. Verified data was committed or transferred from TELEform into the CWIQtemp.mdb database EA-by-EA. No two E.A.s were transferred to the same CWIQtemp.mdb database at the same time.

Training for fieldwork was conducted at two levels. The first level of training was a 5-day CWIQ Pilot Survey Interviewer training programme which was undertaken at SSL head office from 19 to 23 February 2007. This training included twenty six (26) trainees that were selected among SSL staff. The plan was to train 20 of them as Interviewers for the Pilot Survey and appoint them as Supervisors for the Main Survey. In addition it was planned that they should assist in the training of Interviewers for the Main survey. This training was therefore viewed as training of trainers for the CWIQ main survey. Also included in the training programme was 6 SSL Data Processing staff that were selected to participate in the verification and data processing of the CWIQ Pilot and Main Survey data. It was considered important for them to participate so that they could be trained on the tasks they were expected to perform. Therefore, a total of 26 SSL staff were trained for the CWIQ Pilot survey. The second level of training was a 12 day training programme beginning 19 and ending 31 March 2007. A total of 102 interviewers were trained. The 20 SSL staff that were trained and participated in the CWIQ Pilot survey participated as trainers in the Main Survey. During training they were given the task of Team leader. Two Team Leaders were paired to be in-charge of a team of 10 trainees. In the training room they were made to sit together with their team. In addition to assisting in introducing topics of the questionnaire, the Team leaders had the responsibility of maintaining discipline of their team, co-chairing team discussions, explaining further to their team members the concept (s) covered in the general lectures, assisting their team members having difficulties understanding the questionnaire and its completion. The second level training also included daily meetings of trainers i.e. team leaders and consultants, chaired by the CWIQ survey Coordinator or his representative. The objectives of these meetings were: (i) to review training activities of the day; (ii) resolve training problems, if any, that arose during the general presentations of topics as well as discussions in teams; (iii) agree on definitions specific to the Sierra Leone situation; (iv) ensure that good training methods were identified and used the next and subsequent training days. The team leaders were provided the Supervisors manual which contained the basic methods of supervision and editing of questionnaires. During the daily meetings, the contents of the manual were explained to them including the completion of administrative forms that were required as part of their duties. It was also explained that as team leaders of the classroom teams, they were already learning supervision duties.
Prior to this national CWIQ survey, SSL has conducted a CWIQ Pilot survey in 2004 in two areas Kono district in the Eastern Region and the Western district in the Western Area. In these areas the urban and rural areas were canvassed. The main objective of this survey was to test the feasibility of the survey methodology and instrument in preparation for a national survey. Training for fieldwork was conducted at two levels. The first level was a 5-day CWIQ pilot survey interviewer training which included training for data processing staff. The second level was a 12 day training programme for interviewers and supervisors. Pilot survey interviewers were used as supervisors of main survey. A two day training on household listing was undertaken. The selection of sample households was the responsibility of each field supervisor before proceeding to the field. This exercise was conducted for one and half days. Field quality control measures were established at two levels. The first level was the supervisors work at the data collection stage. The second level of quality control was the monitoring of field work by senior managers from SSL head office. Data processing was organized to run concurrently with the fieldwork and commenced a week after the commencement of the fieldwork. The CWIQ data processing system resembled a typical survey data processing system with three main stages: data entry, validation and tabulation. Unique features if CWIQ data processing included use of optical scanners, eliminating the need for manually keying data; the system used a relational database management system (Microsoft Access) to store the survey data instead of text or proprietary file formats; The system was programmed in a general purpose programming language (Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications) instead of a generalized survey data processing package. The data processing procedure involved: Reception of questionnaire; Data preparation; Scanning and evaluation; Verification and committing; Conversion of data; and Validation of data.
Data processing was organized to run concurrently with the fieldwork. The main data processing operation commenced a week after the commencement of the fieldwork when the first batch of completed questionnaires was received in the office. The data processing office for the CWIQ survey was set up at the SSL head office in Freetown. The CWIQ data processing system resembles a typical survey data processing system with three main stages: data entry, validation and tabulation. However, the CWIQ data processing system has some unique characteristics. The questionnaire has been designed to be processed using optical scanners, eliminating the need for manually keying data; the system uses a relational database management system (Microsoft Access) to store the survey data instead of text or proprietary file formats; the system has been programmed in a general purpose programming language (Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications) instead of a generalized survey data processing package. The following hardware and software were used for processing the CWIQ survey data. § Hardware a) One duplex optical scanner - 15 ppm b) Hp 2015 Laser printer c) One Laptop d) One Desktop computer § Software a) TELEform - Automated Data Capture software b) Microsoft Access c) Microsoft Excel d) Visual Basic for Applications e) Adobe Acrobat The data processing procedure involved: · Reception of questionnaire; · Data preparation; · Scanning and evaluation; · Verification and committing; · Conversion of data; and · Validation of data.
The survey was based on a stratified two stage sampling design using existing SSL sample frame (2004 Population and Housing Census). E.A.s were selected from each Local Council (LC). It should be stated that some of these LCs are rural areas while some are urban areas. In each LC, the first stage of sampling was a selection of E.A.s. The number of EAs selected in each LC was determined proportionately using the square root of the household population of the LC and that of the locality (Urban, Rural).
At the second stage of sampling, 15 households were selected for each EA for inclusion in the sample. The selection in each cluster included additional households, as substitutes, to take into account e.g. households that may have moved between the time of listing and the date of enumeration. Below is the distribution of total number of EAs, sampled EAs and total number of households in each LC.
Quality control measures for the survey were established at two levels. The first level was the Supervisors work at the data collection stage. In addition to coordinating the work of the team, the Supervisor assigned households to the team members, undertook direct observations of the interviews and reviewed completed questionnaires before submitting to SSL for data processing. The second level of quality control was the establishment of a monitoring team of senior managers from SSL head office. Apart from collecting completed questionnaires for the completed E.A.s from the field to the head office, the team had the task of monitoring the work of field teams. The tasks of the monitoring team included mapping out strategies and offering solutions to logistical and methodology issue that could arise.
